It was a $75 gift card when you bought the wii and $100 when you bought the PS3. Both lines were nearly 100 people each and I wandered by after I was done shopping and the line was almost gone and both the Wii and PS3's were sold out and they were working on backorder lists for those who were still in line. I chatted for a moment with the guy working back there and he said that they went through 120 wii's and about 160 PS3's that night alone for that sale. If that holds up at other Walmarts around the country, i have a feeling that we'll see Wii and PS3 numbers that are far far higher than we've seen this holiday season.
Has anyone else noticed that? |
Just extrapolating based on this alone, we'd get the following.
Wii:
120 x 3,200 (US Walmarts) = 384,000
PS3:
160 x 3,200 (US Walmarts) = 512,000
